Aren't they in principle included in the French ruleset? At least
there is a leader Vercingetorix.

I can do them. Which people do you mean by Saxons? Saxons as in
Angle-Saxons or as in Kingdom of Saxonia with Dresden as capital?

I would like to add: Xhosa, Swazi, Herero, maybe some more tribes
instead of former colonies.

It might be difficult to get a proper flag for some of them.

Another question: I do not like the use of the South African flag for
Zulus. There are other people in RSA, too. I found two possible flags:
The flag of the Inkatha Freedom Party, which is often associated with
Zulus. <http://fotw.digibel.be/images/za-zulu.gif>

And the flag of the former Homeland KwaZulu:
<http://fotw.digibel.be/images/za-kzulu.gif>

Which one is more appropriate?
